A-List celebrity Jim Carrey has many blockbuster hits under his belt. Films such as: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas to name a few — all put the actor in a position to command $20 million a film.

Although Jim is making the big bucks, he still hasn’t forgotten his humble beginnings and credits his time on 90s hit show In Living Color and show creator Keenan Ivory Wayans.

Actor Marlon Wayans shared a post where Jim Carrey expressed his appreciation to the brilliant black minds that jumpstarted his career and Marlon co-signed the message.

#facts same brilliant black minds gave me my shot (mo’ money, in living Color) and taught me how to write, create, produce (don’t be a menace, scary movie 1 & 2, white chicks, little man) and because of this 30 years later I’m still doing it (MARLON, a haunted house 1 & 2, 50 shades of black, naked, sextuplets and more coming)… forever grateful too. Love you @keenenivorywayans and @damonkwayans #goats

Outside of acting, Jim Carrey is an accomplished painter and shares tons of his work on his Twitter page. He’s also very vocal about his distain for Donald Trump.

But Jim will hit the big screen again where he’ll play an archvillain in Sonic the Hedgehog, his first major studio movie in years.

Well it’s time for that little blue hedgehog to have his moment of glory. Check out the new trailer for the #SonicMovie but rest assured the future belongs to ROBOTNIK!!! pic.twitter.com/7zpIKowA6o
